    As someone who has poor circulation in the extremities, I am anxiously awaiting warmer weather. I don't know how you guys survive those climates, my limbs would probably pop off! Yeah it was nasty!

    Pilot RC 122" Extra 330SC

    Yes! I have a couple, they are very nicely made wing bags. I probably won't buy anything else.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Well after discovering TWO of my engine mount bolts were loose yesterday :oblong:, I went through and re-tightened them last night real quick, slapped the cowl and prop back on, and ordered a new spinner since the old one broke. Will pull it apart tonight and re-loctite the nuts on the mount to...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    It was WINNNDDYYYY today, but I managed one flight in before my spinner broke and I noticed both of my lower engine mount bolts were loose.. Glad I caught that, the spinner i'm not too thrilled about though. Any sources for good inexpensive spinners?

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    The paint shading actually matches very well, it's just the picture that makes it look off. I'm sure paint also reacts differently to the heat of the engine and sunlight than covering does, so over time they tend to stray off of matching.

    17DEC2015, AMA Says DO NOT REGISTER.........yet

    I heard the FAA only had something like 40K people sign up, and they were expecting in the hundreds of thousands, if not millions.

    Yup, green is my favorite color. Plus it just always seems to POP in the sky against the blue (not that I'm ever that high anyways). The plan is for a DA120. Part of me wants to go with a GP123 but the lack of customer support Stateside has me put off. I was looking at a ZDZ112 as well but I...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    I quite like this scheme. It's subtle enough to let you go crazy with adding your own personal touches but eye popping enough to leave it alone. I of course will be decking this out with graphics, maybe paint the cowl since it needs touching up around the seams anyways. Me too :banana-dance...

    Drug out the 107" Edge today to fix some covering woes from yesterday. Worked it for half an hour to get to this point. Good enough, the wing will cover most of it. Gotta love Chinakote. Cut out all of the vent holes. This airplane will have mufflers instead of canisters...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Well today I pulled the Edge out of the shop since I was feeling cramped and got to work on that nasty wrinkled covering.. Didn't get a before pic but this was after working it for about half an hour. Most of this will be covered by the wing so I'm not going to worry about it anymore. Cut...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Tightened up some more covering on the airplanes tonight. Was just about to get the last wrinkle out of the fuselage on my Edge when all of a sudden the wrinkle turned into a nice sized hole. I didn't even get it that hot o_O Looks like I have some a cuttin' and a splicin' to do now...

    Pilot RC 122" Extra 330SC

    I hate it when that happens. I'll go in to re-glue a stringer down and before I know it the fuselage is naked with several new parts cut and ready to go in... :banana-dance: Pink??? My 120 is as silver as ever, no hint of pink at all. I personally have put almost 10 gallons through it, and...

    This won't help our cause at all....

    Well it's one thing if it's a rogue operator flying without permission, but this was a TV crew that was operating with permission. Granted they weren't supposed to be flying over the course, but they weren't just in there nilly willy.. Still doesn't leave any better of a taste in my mouth..

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    We have our neighbors directly to the south of us that are always causing a ruckus. They have a couple of V8 jet boats with open headers that point directly at my house and they USED to like to fire them up right about 9:30-10pm and rev the snot out of them. Always getting so hammered they...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Spent more time with the heat gun last night on the 107" Pilot Edge, and my Aerobeez Slick Pro. Getting that covering all pristine and ready for abuse :way_to_go: Looks like I might have a few days coming up of workshop time if this rain persists...
